Push/Pull Foraging Toy?

[InfamousAlice]

Has anyone ever bought one of these? I've found only one review and it was negative saying the holes didn't line up properly on the one they received.

I bought one for my grey, but he isn't old enough yet to use it . The holes line up and my son filled it and it seems to work just fine.

I've seen these in person at the store and checked them out, but they seemed like they would only work for small treats like seeds. I give my TAG pistachios, popcorn nutriberries, and dried spicy veggies for treats...they would never fit in this toy. Here's the one I have instead:

It's not very challenging, but my girl is still a baby, so I will get her something more difficult when she masters this, it does keep her occupied though when she has to be in the cage.

I have this toy. It works all right. As others have said, it only works for small treats -- I use pine nuts in mine. Moussa manages to get the pine nuts out. I don't know if he's pushing and pulling, or just shaking it, but it takes him a while to get the treats out. Once the treats are on the bottom, it still is a bit of a challenge to get them out with his beak, but he manages. I have also seen my pionus play with it.

Thanks everyone! I definitely am in the market for new "puzzle" toys for him, just wasn't sure where to start!
